Explore Australia - Around the Bay Sightseeing
Duration
9.5 Hours Approx.
About
A 9.5-hour tour running Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday, departing at 8:30am. Explore the Geelong waterfront, Point Lonsdale Lighthouse, cross Port Phillip Bay on the Queenscliff–Sorrento ferry, visit London Bridge at Portsea, and finish with the iconic Mornington Peninsula bathing boxes. Ferry crossing and lunch on board are included. Adults $189 | Children (4–15) $159 | Infants (0–3) $99.
Why choose them?
The ferry crossing from Queenscliff to Sorrento is a highlight in itself, with lunch included on board and the chance to spot dolphins along the way. There's also a seasonal twist — strawberry picking at Rocky Creek Farm from November to April, swapping to a chocolate tasting experience the rest of the year — meaning the experience changes depending on when you visit. A great pick for those who've already done the Great Ocean Road and want to explore a different, more relaxed side of coastal Victoria.

About
A 10-hour tour running Monday, Wednesday & Friday, departing at 8:30am. The day takes in the Geelong Waterfront, wine tasting at Scotchmans Hill Vineyard, a long lunch with a glass of wine at Jack Rabbit Vineyard, a ferry crossing across Port Phillip Bay, a craft beer tasting paddle at St Andrews Beach Brewery, Murrays Lookout, and the iconic Mornington Peninsula bathing boxes. Wine tastings, lunch, a glass of wine, and the ferry crossing are all included. Adults $219 | Children $189.
Why choose them?
You get wine tastings at two acclaimed Bellarine Peninsula vineyards, a seasonal lunch at Jack Rabbit with bay views, a craft beer tasting at a family-owned brewery, and a scenic ferry crossing — all in a single day. It's the kind of itinerary that would cost significantly more if you organised it independently. A perfect choice for couples, groups of friends, or anyone who wants to eat and drink their way around one of Victoria's most beautiful regions without having to drive.
Hop It - Wine Tour
Duration
10-12 Hours Approx.
About
Hop It is a hop-on, hop-off bus service exploring the Bellarine Peninsula's wineries, distilleries, and breweries. The bus runs a loop every hour, so you can stay as long as you like at any stop and simply catch the next one. The day runs from around 11am to 5pm, with an 'in-region' ticket priced at $79.95 per person.
You can get there by train from Southern Cross Station to Geelong (around $10.60 with a Myki), or arrive in style via the Port Phillip Ferry from Melbourne's Docklands — a scenic bay crossing that costs around $50 return and is purchased separately.
Why choose them?
Hop It is ideal for those who hate feeling rushed on a guided tour. You build your own day — linger over a wine tasting flight and platter at one stop, grab a quick tasting at the next, and move on whenever you're ready. The Bellarine is celebrated for its cool-climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Shiraz. A Gold Award Winner at the Victorian Tourism Awards in both 2023 and 2024, it's a relaxed, independent-spirited experience that suits groups of friends or couples who want flexibility without the structure of a guided tour.
